Du Chen took a long hard look at the passenger in the car before wheeling himself away.
"Get up, Mom! Look at me! I'm fine!" Du Chen stopped beside Mrs. Du and helped her up before looking at Lu Xingzhi. "Master Lu, I am sorry for all the trouble caused for the past few days. I promise it will never happen again."
"I am so sorry, my baby boy, it's all Mom's fault!" Mrs. Du clutched onto Du Chen's leg, her voice hoarse from all the crying.
Zhou Weiqi exited the building with his belongings and stood next to Lu Xingzhi. Looking at the two people who used to be his relatives, he said nonchalantly, "Let's go, Brother Lu."
Delighted to see Zhou Weiqi leaving with his personal properties, Zhou Ning remarked, "Dad, look! Without us, he's immediately fired by his boss!"
Mr. Zhou glared at his daughter. "Shut up!"
He was not foolish, for he knew that Zhou Weiqi had a strong support system pulling strings for him behind his back.
"I call this a promotion! Hear it? A promotion!" Zhou Weiqi waved a document file under Zhou Ning's nose.
Mr. Zhou squinted trying to get a good look on the file waving around in the air. It was a document from the Department of Public Relations for the Jin City City Council.
Before he could find out the job position listed on the document, Zhou Weiqi had already stuffed the file back into his bag and left.
"Jiang Yao, what are you looking at?" Zhou Weiqi was in a chummy mood, having one-upped the Zhou family at last. He sat in the rear seat and patted Jiang Yao's shoulder after noticing she was staring off into the distance in silence.
Lu Xingzhi noticed it as well, but seeing that she was not willing to talk, he kept quiet and started the car.
They were halfway when Jiang Yao realized that they were heading for the Liang family's house. After some mental debate, she decided to spill the beans.
"Du Chen knew I was the Divine Doctor. Strangely enough, he had no intentions to expose me and seemed to not care that he can never stand again. While you were dealing with the Zhou family, he came up to me. He even reminded me to wear a pair of sunglasses next time to protect my identity."
